Bolesno Grinje at Obscene Extreme 2014!!!

Great news! Bolesno Grinje will be playing next year on the Obscene Extreme Fest. Here's the official statement from the OEF site:

Pure fucking grindcore from Croatia!!!! BOLESNO GRINJE!!!

The Croatian grind core scene is not that well-known like the underground scenes in other countries. BOLESNO GRINJE is the proof. The reason is that from 2007 till now some band members were prohibited to enter EU countries. But in 2014 they want to bring back their sound to OEF 2014.
This grind core machine was founded by ex-members of the legendary Anti Otpad band and you can still feel some punk or crust tunes in their production. They have released a few full-length albums and this year they put out a brand new recording called simply „13“.
